Terra Nullius showcases all the right elements that made the Crown the show it is today. The meaning behind the title, the historical events, believable cast and settings. Some great heartfelt moments in the show, especially between Charles and Diana in Australia. I wish they had shown more of New Zealand during the tour. It breathed real life and went beyond what we thought we knew from watching the news or reading tabloids. Strong performances that brought this one home to the finish line.

The way their relationship is portrayed is very smart. The way Charles is envious of the attention given to Diana. Their complicated marriage. It's portrayed very realistically and very naturally. And you (the viewer) would really wish they'd both just stop arguing and appreciate (or at least attempt to) each other again.

We all know that Diana and Charles never made it work. That is history. This episode is so close to the edge. We see Charles, who really is a petulant child at this stage in his life. And Diana, stuck in a loveless marriage, without the ability to deal with it. Charles can't stay away from Camilla and exacerbates an already tense pairing. This episode is excellent with very fine acting and a really cool backdrop, Australia and New Zealand. Moving forward from the last episode, we see the incredibly emotionless portrayal of the Queen and Philip. The children are damaged and Charles is a sullen mess. I've noticed how he carries himself, slumped forward, head down, full of angst. My father would have slapped me on the back and shouted, "Stand up straight." Diana gets all the attention from the populace. She is a rock star. But she is being eaten alive.

Oh Diana, looking for love in all the wrong places. A great episode in terms of storyline and acting.

This episode was beautifully heart wrenching. The cinematography was out of this world, the soundtrack was sublime and the acting was some of the most emotive I've seen in a long time. This episode brought me to tears to see how much the people truly loved dianna and the jealously the rest of the royal family harbored because of that, it was heartbreaking to think that her short life was filled with such hate and despair yet she managed to give her all to the public. Emma Corrin deserves all the recognition she gets from this series, brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!!

As she was known by the media. Sensation in Australia back in1983. I nearly cried, okay, did cry, watching 'Diana' dance with 'Prince Charles', in this recreated ballroom scene. There were special moments of intense romance watched by hundreds of thousands of Australian fans and jealous fights afterwards, as Diana turned superstar. Absolutely stunning performances by lookalike actors Emma Corrin and Josh O'Connor as Diana and Charles. Do watch, you'll love it! Bravo and flowers for the Dancing Queen. 💖💝💐

Seasons 1 and 2 were quite excellent on the whole, with even the weakest episodes still being good. Season 3 started off rather slow and finished underwhelmingly, but it did have high points with "Aberfan" for example being one of the best episodes of 'The Crown' in my view. Still liked the show well enough to watch Season 4 and because Emma Corrin has so far impressed me hugely as Diana (less so Gillian Anderson as Thatcher). Not to mention Josh O'Connor has been consistently excellent ever since he was introduced.

"Terra Nullius" details Charles and Diana's Australia trip and we see fully how complicated their marriage was. Regardless of whether it's true to the facts or not, which was never going to be an issue actually as somebody who always judges something on their own merits (always have and always will do), "Terra Nullius" is a wonderful episode on its own in pretty much every area. It is much better than the uneven previous episode "Fagan" and one of the best episodes of an up and down but still worth watching Season 4.

Occasionally the pace could have been a little tighter, but that was not a major issue for me.

Not when everything else was so good. Emma Corrin is an emotional powerhouse as Diana, very poignant performance. Josh O'Connor continues to shine as Charles, bringing out Charles' conflict of choosing royal duty or following his heart with a lot of nuance and in a way where his point of view is understood. Their chemistry is sheer magic and they succeed brilliantly at showing Diana and Charles as complicated, damaged people and that their marriage is likewise.

Furthermore, as ever the production values are superb. The production and costume design are both classy and sumptuous, but it's the photography that stands out in this regard. The music is not overbearing or low key. The scripting is thought provoking and intriguing, uncompromising yet sensitive in its handling of this subject without descending into melodrama.

Also doing well in showing more than one point of view and in a way where all are understandable. The storytelling continues to advance and while deliberate it is also very absorbing and emotional. The second half did break my heart emotionally and it was hard not to sympathise with Diana, without feeling like you had to do so.

In conclusion, wonderful. 9/10.

This episode made my heart break for Diana. Can't begin to imagine what she went through. The hate from the royal family just for being herself. Wow.

I like the bit where she skulled a yard glass with bob hawke

The production level of this series is still top notch. But the writing makes it hard to watch. If they are going the soap-opera road at least they should make it entertaining.

As an Australian I was disappointed that the sheep station and outback scenes looked nothing like Australia. Apparently they were filmed in Spain and Uluru superimposed. So hard to watch when it was not even close to the Australian landscape. At least the actors and people in the Australian scenes had a genuine Aussie accent.

Here we mainly get a glimpse of how media obsession for Diana Spencer started. In the following years, no more blushing bride, Ms. Spencer learned how to manipulate the media, offering lots of spectacular performances about her many - public and private - activities.

Unfortunately, her love-hate relationship with the press was destined to a tragic end, but in early stages she definitely relished her glory, as a sort of revenge against the cold indifference of her husband's family (not to mention the husband himself, who also suffered from a truckload of insecurities).

The episode is about these two damaged, albeit privileged, creatures starting their public life with an extensive tour of Australia, destined to have different consequences from queen Elizabeth own tour of the country, decades earlier.

But the times are changing and celebrity obsession will soon start claiming its first victims. At moment, the hysterics about Lady Di. are still manageable but already creating riffs within the family.

The show is starting to get entertaining, but I think critics are overrated the acting of Diana and Charles a bit.

By far an away the worst episode of the increasingly degenerating series. The whole episode was awkward on so many levels and was just not what I consider entertainment. Would reviewers have rated this so highly if it hadn't been about the Royals? I don't think so. We know this is very loosely based on fact, rumour, heresy and a lot of speculation, but I really find creating dialogue for people in the publics consciousness and in no position to defend themselves is tantamount to bullying, if not downright slanderous.
